You may feel an overwhelming desire to take care of and protect your loved ones today. This could be the result of a deep need to connect with those in your life who have had the most influence on you. You might find that you feel like giving back to your loved ones everything that you have received from them. Today would be a good time to express gratitude and love to your family and friends. You could try to ensure that your nearest and dearest are well-provided for. Ask if they need anything and make it a point to give to them without expecting something in return. Give simply for the joy it brings. You may notice that by taking care of those closest to you, showing your love and gratitude for others outside of your immediate circle becomes easier.

When we express our love for and take care of our family we discover how to care for others in our world. Our intimates are people from whom we learn patience and unconditional love. They are our teachers on how to interact in the world. As we connect to those close to us, our love intensifies and grows. We might see similarities between those we love and strangers. Since our hearts are open to our loved ones, we can more easily expand our love to people we are unfamiliar with. By caring for your loved ones today, you will ultimately learn how to provide for all members of your human family.
